Kuwatunza Watoto
Looking After Children
45. Mtoto ni chanzo cha heshima na pia cha woga.
45. A child is a source of both honour and cowardice
84. 'Aisha alisema, "Abu Bakr alisema, 'Wallahi, hakuna mtu juu ya uso wa dunia ninayempenda zaidi ya 'Umar.' Kisha akatoka nje, akarudi, akasema, 'Nimeapa vipi, binti yangu?' Nilimwambia alichokisema. Kisha akasema, 'Yeye ni mpendwa zaidi kwangu ingawa mtoto wa mtu yuko karibu zaidi (na moyo wa mtu).'"
84. 'A'isha said, "Abu Bakr said, 'By Allah, there is no man on the face of the earth that I love better than 'Umar.' Then he went out and came back and said, 'How did I swear, daughter?' I told him what he had said. Then he said, 'He is dearer to me although one's child is closer (to one's heart).'" .
85. Ibn Abi Nu'm alisema, "Nilikuwa pamoja na Ibn 'Umar wakati mtu mmoja alipomuuliza kuhusu damu ya mbu. Akauliza, 'Wewe unatoka wapi?' 'Kutoka kwa watu wa Iraq,' akajibu. Akasema, 'Mtazameni mtu huyu! Anauliza kuhusu damu ya mbu wakati walimuua mjukuu wa Mtume ﷺ! Nilimsikia Mtume ﷺ akisema, "Hao ni rehani yangu ya harufu nzuri katika dunia hii."'"
85. Ibn Abi Nu'm said, "I was with Ibn 'Umar when a man asked him about the blood of gnats. He asked, 'Where are you from?' 'From the people of Iraq,' he replied. He said, 'Look at this man! He asks about the blood of gnats when they murdered the grandson of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace! I heard the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, 'They are my sweet basil in this world.'"
46. Kumbeba mtoto mabegani
46. Carrying a child on one's shoulders
86. Al-Bara' alisema: "Nilimwona Mtume ﷺ, wakati Al-Hasan alikuwa begani mwake. Alikuwa akisema: 'Ee Allah, mimi nampenda, basi mpende wewe pia.'"
86. Al-Bara' said, "I saw the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, when al-Hasan was on his shoulder. He was saying, 'O Allah, I love him, so love him.'"
47. Mtoto ni chanzo cha furaha
47. A child is a source of joy
87. Jubayr ibn Nufayr alisema, "Siku moja tulikuwa tumeketi na al-Miqdad ibn al-Aswad, mtu mmoja alipita karibu nasi. Mtu huyo alisema, 'Heri ziwe macho hayo mawili yaliyomwona Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ! Kwa Allah, natamani ningeliona yale mliyoyaona na kushuhudia yale mliyoyashuhudia!' Jambo hili lilimkasirisha al-Miqdad, nami nikashangazwa kwa kuwa mtu yule hakusema chochote isipokuwa mambo mema. Kisha akageuka kuwaelekea, akasema, 'Ni nini kilichomfanya mtu huyu atamani kurudisha kile ambacho Allah ameshakiondoa? Je, hajui hali yake ingekuwaje angelimwona? Kwa Allah, kama watu fulani wangekuwa pamoja na Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ, Allah angewatupa motoni wa Jahannamu wakiwa wamelala kifudifudi, kwa kuwa wasingemjibu wala kumsadikisha. Je, hamumsifu Allah Mtukufu kwa kuwa amewaleta duniani na mnamjua Mola wenu tu, na kusadikisha yale aliyoleta Nabii wenu ﷺ? Mnaona mateso ya kutosha kwa watu wengine. Kwa Allah, Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ alitumwa katika hali ngumu kabisa ambayo nabii yeyote aliwahi kutumwa humo – katika kipindi cha pengo (la unabii) na zama za Ujinga. Hawakuamini kwamba dini hiyo ni bora kuliko kuabudu masanamu. Alileta Furqan, ambayo kwayo inawezekana kutofautisha kati ya kweli na uongo, na ambayo inaweza kumtenganisha baba na mwanawe. Kisha mtu atamwona baba yake, mwanawe au ndugu yake kuwa ni kafiri. Allah ameifungua kufuli za moyo wake kwa imani, na anajua kwamba mtu huyo mwingine ataangamia Motoni. Kwa hiyo jicho lake halina furaha kwa kuwa anajua kwamba yule anayempenda atakuwa Motoni. Ndivyo alivyosema Allah: "Wale wanaosema, 'Mola wetu, tupe faraja katika wake zetu na watoto wetu.'" (25:74)'"
87. Jubayr ibn Nufayr said, "One day we were sitting when al-Miqdad ibn al-Aswad when a man passed us. The man said, 'Blessing be to those two eyes which saw the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. By Allah, I wish that I had seen what you have seen and witnessed what you have witnessed!' This angered al-Miqdad and that surprised me as the man had said nothing but good things. Then he turned to them and said, 'What made the man desire to summon back what Allah has taken away? Does he not realise what his situation would be if he had seen him? By Allah, if certain people had been with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, Allah would have thrown them on their faces into Hellfire since they would neither have answered nor confirmed him? Do you not praise Allah Almighty since He brought you forth and you only know your Lord and confirm what your Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, brought? You see enough affliction in other people. By Allah, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was sent in the harshest state in which any Prophet was ever sent – in a gap (in the line of prophethood) and the time of Ignorance. They did not believe that the deen was better than worshipping idols. He brought the Discrimination by which it is possible to discriminate between the true and false, and which can part a father from his child. Then a man will think of his father, child or brother as an unbeliever. Allah has loosened the locks of his heart by faith and he knows that the other person will be destroyed in the Fire. Therefore his eye is not cool since he knows that the one he loves will be in the Fire. It is what Allah says, "Those who say, 'Our Lord, give us joy in our wives and children." (25:74)'"
48. Mtu anayemwombea rafiki yake apate mali nyingi na watoto wengi
48. A person who makes supplication that his friend will have a lot of money and many children
88. Anas alisema, "Siku moja nilimtembelea Mtume ﷺ, na walikuwepo mimi tu, mama yangu na shangazi yangu, Umm Hiram. Alipokuja kwetu, alituuliza, 'Je, niswali nanyi?' Haikuwa wakati wa sala ya faradhi." Mmoja wa waliokuwa wakisikiliza mtu anayesimulia hili aliuliza, "Alimweka wapi Anas kuhusiana naye?" Jibu lilikuwa, "Alimweka upande wake wa kulia." Simulizi kutoka kwa Anas inaendelea, "Kisha alisali nasi na akafanya dua kwa ajili yetu, watu wa nyumba hii, kwamba tupate baraka bora za dunia hii na Akhera. Mama yangu alisema, 'Ee Mjumbe wa Allah, mwombee dua Allah mtumishi wako mdogo,' naye akamwomba Allah anijaalie kila baraka. Mwishoni mwa dua yake alisema, 'Ee Allah, mpe mali nyingi na watoto wengi, na mbariki!'"
88. Anas said, "One day I visited the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and there was only myself, my mother and my aunt, Umm Hiram. When he came to us, he asked us, 'Shall I pray with you?' It was not the time of an obligatory prayer." One of those listening to the person relating this asked, "Where did he put in Anas in relation to him?" The reply was, "He put him to his right." The report from Anas continues, "Then he prayed with us and made supplication for us, the people of the house, that we would have the best of the blessings of this world and the Next. My mother said, 'Messenger of Allah, make supplication to Allah for your little servant,' and he asked Allah to grant me every blessing. At the end of his supplication, he said, 'O Allah, grant him a lot of money and many children and bless him!'"
49. Mama ni wenye huruma
49. Mothers are merciful
89. Anas ibn Malik alisema, "Mwanamke mmoja alimwendea 'A'isha, naye 'A'isha akampa tende tatu. Akampa kila mmoja wa watoto wake wawili tende moja, na yeye akabaki na tende moja. Watoto wale wakala tende zao mbili, kisha wakamwangalia mama yao. Yeye akaichukua tende yake, akaikata sehemu mbili, akampa kila mtoto nusu yake." Nabii ﷺ akaja, na 'A'isha akamweleza jambo hilo. Akasema: "Je, mnashangaa jambo hilo? Allah atamrehemu kwa sababu ya huruma yake kwa mtoto wake."
89. Anas ibn Malik said, "A woman came to 'A'isha and 'A'isha gave her three dates. She gave each of her two children a date and kept one date for herself. The children ate the two dates and then looked at their mother. She took her date and split in it two and gave each child half of it. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came and 'A'isha told him about it. He said, 'Are you surprised at that? Allah will show her mercy because of her mercy towards her child.'"
50. Kumbusu Watoto
50. Kissing Children
90. 'Aisha alisema, "Mbedui mmoja alimjia Mtume ﷺ akamuuliza: 'Je, unawabusu watoto wako? Sisi hatuwabusu.' Mtume ﷺ akasema: 'Je, naweza kuweka rehema mioyoni mwenu baada ya Allah kuiondoa kutoka mioyoni mwao?'"
90. 'A'isha said, "A bedouin came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and asked, "Do you kiss your children? We do not kiss them.' The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Can I put mercy in your hearts after Allah has removed it from them?'" .
91. Abu Hurayra alisema, "Mtume wa Allah ﷺ alimbusu Hasan bin 'Ali wakati al-Aqra' bin Habis at-Tamimi alikuwa ameketi naye. Al-Aqra' alisema, 'Nina watoto kumi, na sijawahi kumbusu hata mmoja wao.' Mtume wa Allah ﷺ alimtazama na kusema, 'Asiyeonyesha huruma hatahurumiwa.'"
91. Abu Hurayra said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, kissed Hasan ibn 'Ali while al-Aqra' ibn Habis at-Tamimi was sitting with him. Al-Aqra' observed, 'I have ten children and I have kissed any of them.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, looked at him and said, 'Whoever does not show mercy will not be shown mercy.'"
51. Mzazi anayefundisha adabu na wajibu wake kwa mtoto wake
51. The parent teaching adab and his duty towards his child
92. Numayr ibn Aws alisema, "Walikuwa wakisema, 'Amali njema ni zawadi kutoka kwa Allah, lakini adabu hutoka kwa wazazi."
92. Numayr ibn Aws said, "They used to say, 'Correct action is a gift from Allah, but adab comes from the parents." .
93. An-Nu'man ibn Bashir alisema kuwa baba yake alimpeleka kwa Mtume wa Allah ﷺ. Akasema: "Ewe Mtume wa Allah, nakushuhudia kuwa nimempa An-Nu'man kadhaa na kadhaa." (Ilikuwa ni mtumwa.) Mtume ﷺ akauliza: "Je, umewapa kila mmoja wa watoto wako kitu kama hicho?" Akajibu: "Hapana." Akasema: "Basi mshuhudishe mtu mwingine asiye mimi." Kisha Mtume ﷺ akauliza: "Je, hutaki kuwatendea wema sawa wote?" Akajibu: "Ndiyo, nataka." Akasema: "Basi usifanye hivyo."
93. An-Nu'man ibn Bashir said that his father had carried him to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. He said, 'Messenger of Allah, I testify to you that I have given an Nu'man such-and-such. (It was a slave). The Prophet asked, "Have you given each of your children the same"?" "No," he replied. He said, "Then testify to someone other than me." Then the Prophet asked, "Do you not want to show equal kindness to all of them?" "Indeed I do," he replied. He said, "Then do not do it."
52. Wema wa baba kwa mtoto wake
52. The dutifulness of a father to his child
94. Ibn 'Umar alisema, "Allah amewaita wao 'wenye wema' (al-Abrar) kwa sababu wanawatendea wema (birr) wazazi wao na watoto wao. Kama vile ulivyo na wajibu unaomdai mzazi wako, ndivyo ulivyo na wajibu unaomdai mtoto wako."
94. Ibn 'Umar said, "Allah has called them the 'dutiful' (al-Abrar) because they are dutiful (birr) to their parents and children. Just as you have a duty which you owe your parent, so you have a duty which you owe your child."
53. Mtu asiyeonyesha huruma hatooneshwa huruma
53. Someone who does not show mercy will not be shown mercy
95. Abu Sa'id amesimulia kwamba Mtume ﷺ alisema: "Asiyeonyesha huruma hatahurumiwa."
95. Abu Sa'id that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Someone who does not show mercy will not be shown mercy." .
96. Jarir ibn 'Abdullah amesema: "Mtume wa Allah ﷺ alisema: 'Allah hatamrehemu yule ambaye hamrehemu watu.'"

97. Sawa na 97.
97. Same as 97.
98. 'A'isha alisema, "Baadhi ya Waarabu wa jangwani walimjia Mtume ﷺ. Mmoja wao alimwambia, 'Ewe Mjumbe wa Allah, je, unawabusu watoto? Kwa Allah, sisi hatuwabusu.' Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ alisema, 'Je, ninaweza kuweka rehema mioyoni mwenu baada ya Allah kuiondoa kutoka kwao?'"
98. 'A'isha said, "Some bedouins came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. One of their men said to him, 'Messenger of Allah, do you kiss children? By Allah, we do not kiss them.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Can I put mercy in your hearts after Allah has removed it from them?'" .
99. Abu 'Uthman alisimulia kwamba 'Umar alitaka kumteua mtu mmoja kuwa gavana. Gavana huyo alisema, "Nina watoto wangapi fulani, na sijawahi kumbusu hata mmoja wao." 'Umar alisema, "Allah Mtukufu hatamrehemu isipokuwa yule kati ya waja Wake aliye mwema zaidi."
99. Abu 'Uthman reported that 'Umar wanted to appoint a man as governor. The governor said, "I have such-and-such a number of children and I have never kissed any of them." 'Umar said, "Allah Almighty will only show mercy to the kindest of His slaves.".
54. Rehema ina sehemu mia moja.
54. Mercy consists of a hundred parts
100. Abu Hurayra alisimulia kwamba Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ alisema: "Allah Mtukufu amegawanya rehema katika sehemu mia moja. Amezihifadhi sehemu tisini na tisa, na amemteremshia dunia sehemu moja. Kwa sababu ya sehemu hiyo moja, viumbe wanarehemiana wao kwa wao, hata farasi jike huinua kwato zake mbali na mtoto wake ili asimkanyage."
100. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Allah Almighty has divided mercy into one hundred parts. He kept ninety-nine parts and sent down one part to earth. Because of that one single part, creatures are merciful to one another so that even the mare will lift its hooves away from its foal so that it does not trample on it."
